The approach of spring sends early-blooming plants into bud - cut a few branches to take into the house and let the heat force them into bloom over the next 10 to 14 days. Complete winter pruning of dormant plants such as cane berries, fruit trees, grapes, roses and wisteria. Prune hybrid-tea roses as they will bloom only on new wood. Continue to protect frost-sensitive plants such as citrus, succulents and bougainvillea, preferably by covering with a frost cloth (sold at nurseries). Prune climbing roses to remove twiggy growth and weak shoots.
